People on the Coromandel Peninsula are being urged to brace for more heavy rain.

There are extensive road closures, including State Highway 25 between Coromandel Town and Whitianga, and State Highway 25A between Kopu to Hikuai.

That means many communities, like Whitianga, are once again cut off.

Coromandel MP Scott Simpson told Roman Travers that the slips on State Highway 25A will take the highway out of action for months.
